I had a Nordic 28 on Long Island Sound which snots up just fine. I wouldn't call it a rough water boat by any means, pretty hard hitting when it got rough, it's definitely better suited for lakes.. However it's a beautiful looking boat, great cabin...possibly the best out there for a 28. Great tooling also.

I agree with the overall point Uncle Dave was trying to make about the west coast vs east coast. East Coast is usually less show more go, where as west coast is directed more towards functionality. However, most east coast boats do have a molded in swim platform. Kryptonite, activator, superboat, OL, Hustler just to name a few.

I think Pantera, Sabre, Active Thunder and progression don't though.

Standard Lavey 2750 NuEra with 525 will run low 80's... Dave's 2750 is loaded with options; full cabin, AC, full setreo, tv, full nav + radar, and much more... His boat will run low 90's or solid mid-high 80's with load.
Lavey 28 EVO (same hull as 2750) which is a sit down 4 person, poker run/hot rod boat will run 105 with Ilmor 710

More than anything, your decision will be based off what you like as far as styling. The ride will be most attributable to your driving abilities. Lavey, activator, active thunder, sabre...... doesn't matter. I've had Joey Impressica drive my Kryptonite in some serious 3 footers, real 3 footers, and to this day I've never been able to replicate that ride again.
